Line 145:
* Although they were villains, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver disarmed both India and Pakistan of their nuclear weapons. The supervillain duo also exposed corporate corruption.
* Before Professor X and [[Magneto]] founded the X-Men, they offered their mutants to help government/industry solve numerous problems (i.e. the energy crisis, ending world hunger etc.). Government/industry declines the offer, not wanting to upset the status quo.
* Then we have [[X-Men/Characters/80s Members|Rogue]]. The poor girl was [[Blessed With Suck]] due to [[Power Incontinence]] for most of her career, being unable to touch another person without her power stealing their powers and memories, and while this is ''usually'' a temporary setback for the victim, using it on Ms. Marvel caused a permanent transfer, the stolen memories (which she often could not distiguish from her own) bringing her to the brink of madness. She has never found out exactly why that happened, and her greatest fear is the possibility that it might happen again. Yet despite the fact that every [[Evil Genius]] in Marvel seems capable of building a [[Slave Collar]] that nullifies mutant powers, nobody on the heroes' side (not Xavier, Reed, or Stark) seems able to duplicate such a device for someone like Rogue who ''wants'' a way to turn her powers off.
